COURSE INFORMATION

FREE - 100 Years of Prairie Horticulture

The University of Saskatchewan will soon be celebrating one hundred years of horticulture. The program began when Dr. Cecil Paterson arrived from Ontario to become the first head of a then one-man Department of Horticulture Science. Horticulture on the Prairies has always been intertwined with the work of many organizations and people. Working with early Saskatchewan plant breeders, Dr. Patterson introduced a number of lilies and fruit varieties while responsible for teaching, research, developing the then bare landscape of the University campus, and extension. In the century since his arrival, horticulture has continued these efforts, most recently with the introduction of hardy cherries and haskaps. Join us for free to learn some stories of the last 100 years of local prairie horticulture!
